EDIT: CAROLINE HAS SEEN THIS VIDEO. I REPEAT. CAROLINE HAS SEEN THIS VIDEO!!!! 👇 follow your dreams people
The Winkler Way!! omg. this video was adorable, creative, and unique and i loved it!!
The Bale/Winkler photo edit was CURSED. I couldn't stop laughing 😂
My two universes colliding! Caroline and Makari together 🥰
The way I screamed to my husband across the kitchen that my two favorite CZcamsrs mentioned each other from Across the country. Worlds collide. Love ya both goof balls.
NO WAY. I really appreciate it, Caroline. I love your work!
P.S. I just moved and I'm trying my darnedest to makes vignettes and immersive experiences. Beyond interior design, your videos have helped me feel so much more confident and I really have to thank you for that.
Love me some Caroline!
I introduced a very simple rule that helps me a lot in the morning: no smartphone before I see the sun. So I have to get up and open the curtains and only after I can use my smartphone.
Good one! Thanks for sharing!
YES! That's the golden rule, because when you start your day with a phone, social media, you prioritise others and not yourself first thing in the morning
You must live somewhere where you have long enough days in the winter. I envy you
That's such a good one, I'll definitely be borrowing that one from you!
the "but actually, I'm getting 3 birds stoned at once" got me cracked up hahaha
it's a good trailer park boys line haha
“Am I…better than everyone?” Took me out 😂
We love a good morning routine, though. As someone who always wakes up at 7:00, it’s addicting, and I truly hate the days I sleep in until 8:30 or 9:00 now.
😆 thanks Ethan! So cool knowing an actor in New York likes my stuff?!
And I can't wait to get to that point of "early morning addiction"!
I’m so with you! I found it hard to get up early (depression) so I would make a coffee straight away, and now I try to have a coffee an hour after I wake up - and now I’m also addicted to early mornings ☀️ never looking back
I hate the days that I wake up at 6:30 and can't get back to sleep, but don't want to get up because it feels too early, but then I also get annoyed if I wake up at 7:30 because then it's too late :D 7am is that perfect time.
I've been trying for a long time to get my morning routine (and my night routine) sorted out and it almost seems like I'll never get it down. Hearing you say "I'll be grumpy no matter what time I wake up so might as well do it at 6:30am" is probably the most motivational thing I've heard. Maybe it isn't about my routine being perfect or the same every day, maybe it's about just actually starting it.
Just generally wanted to say that you are a really awesome creator and I love the way that you are so happy and joyful in your videos and u just try to make the most of life and especially in love how adorable you are. I hope you become a huge creator in the future and I hope you don’t forget this comment, I’m rooting for you
Hey thank you so much for the kind words - I really really appreciate it ❤❤
"Im grumpy no matter what"
Real shit.
Psych stundent here: the ball of anxiety in your chest aka prob the feeling of shame could be a sign that you're not living according to your own values. Basically, it is the part inside of you that wants you to be the kind of person who you wanna be. So it actually comes from a place of self-love. A little perspective shift can go a long way 😊
another psych student here: that can be true, or it can be that this anxiety is coming from a overly demanding/sadist part of us that only interprets productivity in suffering. We need a lot of introspection to know the difference, and then act accordingly.
I had a brilliant therapist tell me once that anxiety and excitement actually come from the same place in your brain. So if you can say to yourself “I’m excited about this” it flips anxiety into excitement. Also it’s impossible for your brain to feel anxiety and gratitude at the same time. I swear it works. If you are feeling worried just say “I’m so grateful for…”
I could see _nervousness_ and excitement being related. But anxiety is a whole different thing.
For me anxiety feels like a burning gnawing in my chest that I'm in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing; that what has happened, what is happening, and what is about to happen is terrible; and that both action and inaction will produce more suffering. I find it hard to frame that feeling as "excitement".
I don't necessarily agree with your approach of doing so much that you don't have time to think and feel anxious, I feel like it's a bit misguided. I don't know the answer too, of course. what I like to do that works for me is waking up and taking my time to do things that bring me joy: I wake up at 7, feed the cats, 15 mins of stretch (which I incorporated from your previous video!!), ablutions, then I take like 30 minutes preparing and eating my breakfast - just eggs and a cup of coffee with milk, but I don't do it in a hurry, I enjoy every minute of the preparation. then I go to the couch and just hang out watching something on my phone/tablet for 40 minutes before starting to work. that way I don't feel like the purpose of my life is to work, which is a source of anxiety and depression for me. I also like to take an hour before lunch to workout, which also breaks my "work time" into a self care time. my goal is to have life and enjoy things outside of work. I'm privileged enough to work from home so that's why this works for me. I just wanted to share my perspective on this, sorry for the long text.
Yeah, "just doing things" is a fine line to walk. It's suoer helpful to run on autopilot to get out of a rut or minimize overthinking/worrying but it can also destroy mindfulness and get you out of touch with your emotions. As always, balance is key :)
Thank you for being vulnerable. It's easy to think others have this perfect life from what you see on social media and it's nice to see that we are all just humans trying to get through life one day at a time.
This Caroline and Makari collision made me happier than any other good thing that has happened to me this week.
I need to get out more.
This is the kind of content that makes me not quit social media!! This is the best channel I’ve subscribed to in a long time
2:03 No lie I got a cold shiver when the cold water hit your head. And I am sitting in a south facing living room on a sunny Irish evening (a rarity)
This was really relatable and motivational for me, Makari! Just wanted to add that when you said you'd accomplished nothing until noon, I felt that, but you had also already been to the gym and showered and I think that should count 🥹
as a person who always tries to make my mornings as productive as I can, I felt this in my soul! It’s the best starting the day at 8 knowing you have already done so much and can end the day and crash into bed after! :)
"When you're in it, it can suck sometimes. But big picture. if we're working towards something, it doesn't matter, it's all worth it and all we have to do is wake up and go" -Makari Espe
Saved this in my notes, might put this one on the wall too
Really cool to see that some things I say resonate with people. Thank you for this
I think CZcams recommended your videos to me because I just discovered Caroline Winkler and have been binging her content 😂 This is just further proof!
Ah, the relatable 20s experience of "can't afford therapy right now so I'm just figuring it out on my own"!
There was a 2 month period where I cracked the "Don't think, just do" method, but I've unfortunately since lost it. My dad and I joke that just a little lobotomy as a treat would solve a lot of my problems, so I could do the things without having to convince the constant internal dialogue first, lol.
I also look back on times I pushed myself with fondness! Just need to crack how to do that without a boss, or a degree, to push me. We got this :)
I've loved every single video you've put out so far, congrats on the rapid growth! And the now continued sponsorship :)
I love when my favorite CZcamsrs love my other favorite CZcamsrs!! You and Caroline both are so genuine and it makes everything more engaging and seem much more achievable :)
Ah yes. A morning routine. That thing I had before I had kids.
Really enjoyed your video. Your happy energy and self-deprecation is fun. Thank you for making videos!
😂It will come back. Keep at it!😊
You're just so real and not like so many of the other youtubers! Thanks for trying these methods and showing us, and finding a happy medium! This was actually motivating!
I love your videos! I would love a video about your usual workout routine, I love when people who are not fitness trainers or strictly fitness influencers show their workouts, it's super motivational :)
Finally, an honest morning routine 😂 this was so validating ❤️
I wake up every day between 5am-6am and I have tried SO HARD to workout in the mornings. I reallly really wanted to be a morning workout person. But I just absolutely could not get used to it. I always felt so much worse. So, I changed my workout to 1pm-2pm, afternoons, and OMG so much better for me personally!! Writing this to say you don’t always have to listen to “everyone”. Do what works for you. We all have different needs and lifestyles.
You’re my new new fav, but Caroline Winkler has been in my subscriptions for a bit. You both are my kind of funny. Appreciate you girl!
just no way! i was literally searching up morning routines yesterday, trying to reduce my anxiety.
and today was the first day in many when i woke up and felt fine. something worked :)
looking forward to watching!
I hope you enjoyed!!
@@makariespe I def did! :) thank you for this mix of positivity and vulnerability!
Somehow, it's yet another video that I didn't know I needed, but needed so badly. Thank you (again)!
You've really quickly become one of my favorite channels, please keep it up!
Thanks Matt! I appreciate it :)
Bedtime routine next please! 💖 I’m much worse at having a good nighttime routine
Hot water makes perfect sense! I love tea and hot water is just unflavored tea so that checks.
100%! 😆 It's the best thing for an upset stomach too
@@makariespehot like tea, or just a bit warmer than natural temperature?
I wanna be your friend, you are so relatable, funny and your videos truly light up the day!
I have watched every single one of your videos and get so excited when I see a new one. I love your honesty and it’s honestly great to see that even people who look perfectly put together struggle too. Its easy to feel like one is struggling because of not working out enough or not drinking enough water or not doing one thing or another, but even when doing all those things, life isn’t going to suddenly be perfect. Thank you for your great content ❤️
Yay, Makari is back with a video. I so agree that the pomodoro technique is super powerful to get things done, it's like magic lol
Hi Makari! this is my first time watching your video, and wow I LOVE and appreciate how authentic, honest and vulnerable you are and doing so in a positive, funny way! Comparing two different morning routines is such a cool idea
Hey thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
thank you for being so authentic, your videos really are comforting 🫶🏻
I've started something similar that you do in this video.
I get up at 5am, chug a glass of water, go to the gym at 6am and after that a cold shower (that I've been doing for 2 years now and I feel awesome since).After all of those I'm there at 7.30-8am starting to work, doing laundry and stuff you have to :D
Anyway, I love your energy. Found you by the 30k steps a day video and since then I can't wait for you to upload another video.
Keep up the work XO
Ive been binge-watching you and Caroline Winkler lately - love to see these two worlds collide!
If you haven't already done a nighttime routine vid, I'd love to see that too. Awesome as usual!! 🥰
You. Are. Awesome. So happy my algorithm picked you! Enjoyed every minute, stay awesommmmeeeee!!
I love everything about this Video! Thank you for beeing vulnerable, goofy, funny and so real.
Amazing Video. CONGRATS on 50K subs. Wooooo!. You deserve it
I'm a warm/hot water drinker!!! Everyone in my life hates watching me drink hot water bit it's excellent
my people!!!!
Ya I don't know why people hate us so much 😂
You *and* @Caroline_Winkler are my favorite internet people, so I loved this so so much
My heart is so happy right now 😍 I’ve really cut back on social media and trying to consume content only that leaves me in a better mood than I was in before. There are two people on CZcams who can do that. My long time favorite, Caroline and you, Makari. Thanks to both of you. You make my days better 🥰
I have to say I have really enjoyed you exploring making a system that works for you. Everyone needs a bit of structure, even when you don't have a traditional 9-5 or school driving you, but it doesn't always look the same for every person and it is neat to see you leading by example. Looking forward to the next!
And YOU are my new fav person on the Internet. I love how you challenge yourself this way. I love your appartment as well. And I love it because it is a simple appartment. Nothing too fancy. And it looks like you actually live in it, with your boyfriend. 😂 It's so much more relatable. Love your relationship with your dad, it is so precious ❤
I just resently stumbled across your channel and ... I LOVE IT! You make me laugh so hard and its really great listening to your positive and joyful voice! Keep the work :)!! You are inspiring and motivating thousands of people out there!!
One of the differences that stuck out to me is having a morning routine and doings by yourself and doing them with others. The comparison with having a volleyball team, studying with friends, etc. Adult life seems way more individualistic and solitary, so I assume it's also why we tend to feel more unmotivated and anxious overall.
Insightful! Agree!
Great video as always Makari! Thank you for being so open and honest with us about your struggles. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who struggles with anxiety, especially in the morning when it comes to facing the day.
Loving these wellness focused videos!!
I can relate to that morning anxiety feel!! I think I might need to incorporate “text breaks” throughout the day. I love that you used others’ routines as inspo to make a morning routine work for YOU- it is YOUR day! Keep shining :)
Great Video, as always. So glad i found your Channel a few months ago. You dont just entertain, you also motivate me in a way that not many people can. Thank you Makari for this channel and the work you put in😊
Oh, how I loved it!!!!! The reflection in the end was truly made for me right now, def following you for more.
omg my new fave youtuber! Immediately subscribed! ❤
Girl, saaaame. Your videos are so relatable and calming. 😃
Makari! O was positively surprised when I saw this video was sponsored - first time I bumped into your channel you had around 10k subscribers - then I looked at it and you’re already with 50k???? That’s amazing! I love your content and I’m so glad your CZcamsr career is taking off. Congrats!!!!
This was the best CZcams video I've seen in a while. Loved it
I found your channel through your stretching video and have now watched all your videos! I love your personality, it’s what makes your videos so enjoyable ❤
Starting off the shower cold and switching to a normal temperature is such a great idea (definitely going to steal that for my routine!). It's really the best of both worlds without hating life with a whole cold shower! 😄
HAVE I WATCHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS? YESSS!!! ARE YOU MY FAV CZcamsR? HELLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!
Not sure why, but channel is by far my favourite. You are so normal it's amazing. Thats a compliment btw 😁
haha thank you 😆
I agree, don’t give yourself time to think!
Loved this vid Makari. Keep it up!! 🥰 Thank you for sharing. ❤
Such a departure from what I normally watched and I love it.
A few times over the past few weeks I've had to get up early to travel and despite the initial suck I always feel better than usual in the end. Instead of my usual 9.30-11 window. Might actually set a non-negotiable alarm for 6.30 now.
Thanks.
I literally can’t get past 0:08 in this video because I keep replaying your hilarious delivery of “I obviously don’t do that” 😂😂 omg 😂😂😂
Love love love! So insightful and funny and just fab! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
I feel inspired to try bettering my morning routine now! Thank you!
Totally feel you on therapy and trying to work through it on your own. Journaling has been so helpful for me processing things :)
I legitimately laughed out loud multiple times during this video! First off, you are an inspiration and have honestly become my go to CZcamsr when I'm feeling anxious/overwhelmed, something about your videos just calms me right down and makes it so much more achievable to go do the things I actually want to do. Second of all, the shots of morning you in the blue hoodie are absolute comedy gold and the ONLY true representation of what it actually feels like to have to wake up! The bit at 10:05 with the "eh" and the slow shuffling?! What a legend!! 😂
we love being here in the beginning of your channel.
I love that you found a routine that works for you! I think that I need to incorporate what you have done as mine, because I found we have similar styles of thinking and working! Hope you had a wonderful week and your weekend is full of laughter ❤xx
Thanks Danielle! :) I hope you have a great weekend tooo :) ❤
Just discovered your channel a couple days ago and am in the process of watching all of your videos. You seem like such a cool person and I love your editing style. Your dad is correct... you ARE a good editor. Keep it up - love from Kentucky.
Hey thanks Rebeka I really appreciate it! :)
Perfect timing here. Bets wishes to you Markari!
I appreciate you sharing your anxiety and self-doubt. It's very relatable! Right now, I'm working East Coast hours, so my morning routine is rolling out of bed at 6:45 and working in my pajamas until I'm awake enough to get ready for the day! I actually prefer it to doing my morning routine first thing: I do mindless tasks first thing and then do some yoga and get ready mid-morning. I enjoy it more than trying to do yoga before I'm fully conscious. For the two years before this, I had to start working at 5:30am, so there was no way I was going to get up a minute earlier than I had to.
you‘re my favorite person on the internet! can‘t wait for more videos 😍 You could also throw some vlogs into your video regime, I‘d watch them even if it‘s just 15minutes of you walking Willy
Phew, how do you always just know what video I need right now? :,) I got taken out of my routine this past month and now I've been laying in bed on my phone till the last possible minute, struggling to eat breakfast and then rushing to class and feeling BAD. Going to try and use this as motivation to get back on track :) (we're having a good start, I was watching this while finally eating breakfast again sooo,, look at me go!)
10:00 I love this shot so much
Very helpful video thank you for making it!
always a great video Makari
Yeey two of my fav youtubers combined 🎉
Willy self inserting snuggles is everything
I really like your style of the videos it is easy and helpful. Thanks to the CZcams algorithm you get suggested to me like every 2 weeks :D
I am suprised that you really handeled that cold shower so good. That is something really hard and it is way easier for me to wake up early and instantly do something.
Nevertheless great effort and really authentic and likeable and alle beste from Germany ✌😎
I understand those morning anxieties.
Great vid Makari. love it.
My trick for cold showers is to start the water warm and every 40 seconds or so make the water colder so I start warm but end cold... necessary for hot US South summers lol, but I actually really like it. Also the pomodoro technique is a life-saver for me as a free-lancer!!! Thank you Makari, you have inspired me to go to the gym and get up early again. Everything I accomplish before noon feels like a bonus to me.
I would love to see or learn about your volleyball journey and I love your content
Needed this today :) thank you for such great and motivating content.
I was chugging water while you were chugging water. Hydration besties 🧚♀️🧚♀️
0:07 not even 10 seconds into this video and you’re cracking me up😭
😆
Okay this probably sounds dramatic but this video came at the perfect time for me and I may or may not be tearing up on gratitude right now. Thank you for sharing and making these videos!! ❤
I love your energy, subscribiiing
love your videos
Pizza, Friday and new Makari. 🎉
😆
waking up grumpy no matter the time so so real 😅 this inspired me to try some new morning routines out!
gosh i just love you so much
I found your channel mere weeks ago, and have not been disappointed. Love this video!
Btw, this may or may not be helpful to anyone else, but your channel reminds me of a mix between Ryan Trahan and WheezyWaiter--very chill, kind of funny/funky/awkward, and makes you think : )
I'm beginning to think that you keep putting Willie in your videos to get a reaction from me 😁
Yes to hot water drinking! I thought it was just me that did that!
Great video! Love your channel!
Thanks Sean! I appreciate it :)
